The Government of Goa has a unicameral legislature consisting of a forty member Legislative Assembly, headed by a Chief Minister who wields the executive power. The present Chief Minister of Goa is Mr. Digamber Kamat and the Leader of Opposition is Mr. Manohar Parrikar. The ruling government consists of the party or coalition garnering the most seats in the state elections and enjoying the support of a simple majority of the House. The governor is appointed by the President of India. The governor's role is largely ceremonial, but plays a crucial role when it comes to deciding who should form the next government or in suspending the legislature as has happened in the recent past. After having stable governance for nearly thirty years up to 1990, Goa is now notorious for its political instability having seen fourteen governments in the span of the fifteen years between 1990 and 2005. In March 2005 the assembly was dissolved by the governor and President's Rule was declared, which suspended the legislature. A by-election in June 2005 saw the Congress coming back to power after winning three of the five seats that went to polls. The Congress party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are the two largest parties in the state. In the assembly pole of 2007, Congress-led coalition won and started ruling the state. Other parties include the United Goans Democratic Party, the Nationalist Congress Party and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

When spotting a lavish masquerade style party being prepared at the Hyatt Hotel, Tony was surprised to find the Royal Bank of Scotland logo all over the expensive and extravagant scenery. Fellow British guests staying at the hotel were appalled with the amount of money that must have been spent by the recently bailed bank to the tune of £24bn.

In a remote village of Goa, farmers use solar technology to safeguard their crops from wild animals. Transfer of technology from the rich and the urban society to the poor and the rural areas is finally happening. Devidas, our correspondent shows an example of that in this video where small farmers in his village have access to solar technology. They are using the technology to build an electric fence around their fields. The technology has been provided to the farmers by the state's Agriculture department. Normally, solar technology is considered too expensive for a poor community to afford. For example, one has to pay over two hundred thousand rupees to get solar fencing for 1 km of area. But in Goa, the Directorate of Agriculture has been providing 50% subsidy on solar fencing. The government calls it a 'Community fencing scheme' that allows the entire community to apply for the subsidy as a single group. Under this scheme about 25 farmers of Devidas's village applied and rought home a solar fence for which they had to pay only Rs10 thousand. Says Devidas,"People in my area are marginal farmers with about 2 -3 hectors of land. Since we are forest dewellers, wild animals are a real threat to our crops and this fence is actually helping us securing our food. However, we also have erratic power supply and if we get such subsidy for other applications like lighting the house etc, we can benefit even more." Devidas thinks that this video will encourage other communities <b>...</b>
